Once again, Seiko comes through with an affordable watch with a nice complication. I always love Seiko watches for this reason.
In fact, they make some pretty good homage watches to the Rolex Submariner and the Rolex Daytona too.
What’s not to love about this watch? Usually with perpetual calendar watches, the dial can look a bit cluttered.
However, the Seiko SPC129P1 is really clean, simple, and elegant.
In addition to the perpetual calendar, it also has a Tachymeter function and a chronograph function. Wow…that’s a lot of complications on the watch!
The watch is also water resistant for 100 meters (330 feet) and comes in a nice leather strap.
My only gripe with the watch is that it is a bit on the larger side at 43 mm.

6. Peugeot Vintage Perpetual Calendar with Moon Phase
Click Here to get this Peugeot watch!
If you have been following me for a while now, you know I always recommend Peugeot watches.
They make a lot of great homage watches for high end brands like Patek Philippe, Rolex, and so many others.
So I was very happy to see that not only do they have a moonphase watch (pictured above), but that this watch also has a perpetual calendar feature!
Now Peugeot isn’t known to have the highest quality watches (to be perfectly honest), but their watches look AMAZING for a good price.
And this perpetual calendar watch is no exception.
If you’re a big fan of old school “retro” watches, then this is for you. This looks like something your grandpa would have worn to a party after defeating the Nazis.
There are a lot of things to love about this watch. Let’s start with the dial. It has beautiful black roman numerals on the face. It’s super elegant and something you could wear to a black tie party with your date.
I’m also a big fan of the perpetual calendar feature on the watch. Usually brands screw it up and make the watch look way to cluttered. However, I think they did a good job here. It looks so simple and elegant.
And don’t even get me started on the watch hands. They look super stylish like grandfather clock hands.
Pros:
- Super elegant watch – beautiful white dial, 3 different subdial features, roman numerals on the face, and even the hands are intricate.
- 40 mm diameter – perfect for most men
Cons:
- This watch is a quartz movement unfortunately (but it is backed by a LIFETIME warranty).

10. Seiko Kinetic Premier Perpetual Calendar Watch – SNP022P1
Click Here to get the Seiko SNP022P1 watch!
It comes to no surprise that the last two watches on this perpetual calendar list are both Seiko watches.
Seiko makes great quality watches at affordable prices.
I love this watch because of the unique dial. You have the HUGE dial for the calendar and a smaller dial for the 24 hour dial. It is truly a piece of work!
And not only that, but the watch comes with a super sexy steel bracelet.
One of my favorite things about the watch is the out-sized date window. It just really pops out.
And something cool about this watch is the “sleep function” –
When the watch senses 24 hours of inactivity it puts itself into suspended animation (sleep mode) to conserve energy.
The date continues to advance correctly while the watch is asleep. Wake it up with a few shakes of your wrist and it automatically resets itself to the correct time even if it’s been asleep for up to four years!
Pros:
- Watch comes in gold and silver colors!
- Super cool “suspended animation” feature
- Perfect size for a watch of this quality (40 mm)
Cons:
- Watch is a bit more on the expensive side (currently over $400 on Amazon)
It also comes in silver!

Fist of all, I LOVE the blue hands. They really pop out against the white background.
Second of all, the out-sized date window is really nice and just makes the watch really pop from your wrist.
Finally, the steel bracelet is really handsome. It’ll look great on your wrist at the office!
Pros:
- Beautiful dial that will serve as a great dress watch
